Hey thinking about throwing some cash at my vRS

Here's what I had in mind installing to it, the only mod on it now is decat.

Would like to hear ideas and suggestions!

Whiteline RARB 24mm

K&N Typoon filter 69-9501TP

Forge 007p DiverterValve (Where can I get this?)

Downpipe (Will this fit? http://store.42draft...ries_p_209.html )

DogBone (Which one should I get? http://www.thsperformance.co.uk/product/Gen_2_FR3_Gearbox_Steady_THSFR3-GEN2DBO ? )

Remap (Not sure where to do this because I live in Iceland, perhaps at the dealership?)

Also was wondering wouldn't it be smart or safer to go over the engine and turbo to see if it can take the remap?

you can get a shark sts unit sent and download the maps.

Personally I wouldn't bother with the typhoon filter, I'd just get a ebay induction pipe and fit either a k&n or a pipercross filter on the end.

Down pipe, just buy one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SKODA-OCTAVIA-1-8T-20V-STAINLESS-EXHAUST-DECAT-DOWN-PIPE-/400242485448?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item5d304fa8c8#ht_1106wt_1037

Remap, buy a shark sts unit

Would that then be 349+150?

Think theres a briskoda discount too??

Octavia vRS 1.8T: £314.10 inc VAT + 150 for sts

advantage is you can switch between maps and upgrade for £150 again in future, return to stock whenever

Edited 11 August, 201213 yr by Lofty79

the map is now only £299 + discount + 150 for sts

pm me if you want me to sort something out for you

Wouldn't I need to have all the upgrades listed above installed before I got the map? Or at least ordered? :p

stage1 is fine stock isnt it?

Contact shark they are really helpful

Will definitely contact Shark!

But will this DV fit(Available locally)? http://www.ecstuning.com/Volkswagen-Jetta_IV--1.8T/Engine/Intake/BOV/ES1832067/

This Intake seems to be more popular, better choice?

And also don't have a clue on what dogbone to get!

Dump valve is not recommend you need a 007 recirculating valve.

Ok, can you supply me with a link? Thanks!

Remap, buy a shark sts unit

also, isn't the downpipe for a quattro different to that for a fwd?

Thanks for the link!

Concerning dobbone, what's the difference for those two, and these are the ones I need, right?

Thanks for all the help so far guys, love this forum!

Contact w8 performance for bits, they are really good and helpful.

As for the dogbone you need the yellow one, though people have fitted the red ones as they are softer

Red is diesel

Yellow is petrol

Have you got a rear anti roll bar? They transform the handling on a vrs

Thanks, Raf. This is my current selection of part I'm going to add:

RARB - Whiteline 24mm

DP - http://www.ebay.co.u...#ht_1069wt_1163

DV - http://www.ecstuning...alve/ES1832054/

Map - Shark STS. Though, what's the difference if I would have it remapped at the dealership or from Shark?

Dogbone engine mounts - http://www.dpmperfor...197-p-8337.html

Air intake - http://www.dpmperfor...996-p-4922.html

All legit? :p

If you were to guess, what numbers would I hit with this setup?

First thing I would do is to email the different sponsors on here with the stuff you want. Due to the amount of bits you should get a discount making it all cheaper than buying from different places.

W8, Dpm and awesome are the ones that come to mind.

Ok, thanks I have already sent a line to DPM and W8.

Err you made of money? lol

An ebay induction pipe fitted with a different filter will cost a lot less with the same result.

Lol! thanks for that tip, huge money saver!

So that would be this

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SKODA-OCTAVIA-UNIVERSAL-PERFORMANCE-AIR-FILTER-INDUCTION-KIT-PIPE-/180895670460?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2a1e38e0bc#ht_3014wt_1397

and this

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/K-N-Universal-Clamp-On-Air-Filter-3-I-D-76mm-/160322394211?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2553f59863#ht_500wt_1180

.. then I'm all set right

And there's no performance difference in the above and a, for example, K&N typhoon kit?
